If your data source is publicaly available you can test it by making a request like this:
http://www.dasregistry.org/validate?url=http://das.sanger.ac.uk/das/otter_das/&testcode=22:19173435,19372173

which returns properties for the status of each command. Or you can use the validation page on the registry interface to do the same thing.

Some people here are working on some XSD documents in order to use JAXB which will probably be of use to you as they should be structured more as you suggest.

We maybe need to make it more clear how we use these RNG documents in the documentation.

Thanks for the feedback!

Ah, interesting. I'm exercising my implementations of the das commands, and then validating the XML against the rng as a correctness test. I had been assuming that the rng was a description of all possible server responses, including error cases, but I now see what you guys are using them for.

Thanks!

Hi Andrew

I guess this depends on what you are using the RNG for. What are you using it for? The registry needs the result from a sequence request to conform to the sequence.rng as it is on the registry as if a sequence is requested the test region put into the registry should return a sequence, if it returns an ERRORSEGMENT the the registry wants that reported as invalid. If I add the errorsegment to that document as you suggest the registry won't pick it up as invalid.

Alright, now I'm hitting the lack of support for ERRORSEGMENT within the sequence command response. I think there needs to be a choice inside the oneOrMore, so that elements can be SEQUENCE or ERRORSEGMENT. I attached what I'm using as a testing schema in the meantime, hopefully it's helpful.

<sequence.rng>

This is fixed now.

Hello,

I'm working on some validations, and I think I may have found an error in sequence.rng (www.dasregistry.org/validation1.6/sequence.rng) . It appears that this schema makes no provision for the actual text data that belongs to the sequence element (i.e. the bases themselves). Is this a known issue?

If not, I think the solution is to add a <text/> element inside the sequence element. Line 10 should read,

<attribute name="start"><data type="integer"></data></ attribute><attribute name="stop"><data type="integer"></data></ attribute><optional><attribute name="version"><text></text></ attribute></optional><optional><attribute name="label"><text></ text></attribute></optional><text/></element>

Cheers,

Andrew
